PID's causing excessive noise?
#1
I figured I'd post here instead of cluttering up the dedicated boards with stuff I'm usually wrong about...lol

I have a 2.5 inch that was flying great and had fairly solid FPV.
But I was guessing at the channels and being a dummy didn't know you can simply match what's in beta flight to the chart in the PDF manual for the quad.

Instead, I ended up updating the FC to the latest firmware.
I was able to get the VTX tables into betaflight. And know what channel I'm on. Unfortunately, this didn't work out very well since for some reason the channel that I'm on in beta flight does not match the one in my goggles. For example, if I'm on R-6 in beta flight I won't be able to get FPV through that in my goggles. Instead I'll have to go to something bizarre like B-3... I don't know.

Even more unfortunate I didn't do a CLI dump back up instead choosing to do a settings back up through beta flight as well as a diff all CLI dump.
It seems that some of my PID values were not successfully transferred. These were the ones set by the manufacturer.
And honestly the quad flew fantastic the way it was set up (pnp).
Can the wrong (even stock beta flight) PID values introduce excess vibrations/ oscillations enough to dump a bunch of noise and interference into the VTX?

I can't get the quad 50 ft away from me without completely losing visual... Can't even arm it and take off without heavy noise and breakup.

I've tried just about everything recommended in other topics including a full breakdown and checking of all wires and connectors. But the issue persists.
It even seems to be affecting my RX connection.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to grab some footage through the DVR because the only SIM card on hand is a 64 and my goggles only support 32 max.

So the quad has become unflyable through FPV and flies a little like crap through LOS.
I know nothing about setting PIDs or the logic behind them.
And yes, I've watched Bardwell's and a couple of other guys tutorials... Not that I would know if that is truly what's causing the issue.

My guess would be that your goggles are on the wrong channel as you can only get about 50ft. Don't use the auto tune on your goggles it will often be wrong. Look at the betaflight chanel and manually set your goggles to that. If still having problems with video it may be a damaged antenna. Failing all that post a dump file here and someone can check it for you. Also what model is it? Someone should have a oem backup for you.

what quad pnp do you use? from what version did you update to which one?

what pid values do you have?

pids can cause noise, but that means a worse image not unflyable.

It's an LDARC AK123
Went from.
4.0.3 to 4.4.0
I've tried every channel that my goggles pick up since as I stated, the goggles don't seem to match up what channel the VTX is set to. So if I'm on Band A channel 4 on the VTX, on the goggles that channel is just static...then I'll scroll to a random band and channel and it'll give me a perfect feed.
But as soon as I arm I get tons of noise. If I take off I start to get breakup and if I fly out I'll start to get black cut outs.
The auto search on my goggles is trash just to use so I never do.

I'd love to get back to 4.0.3 (which I have) BUT with the original manufacturer settings. Even if that means changing channels through the CLI. As on that firmware I can't even control the VTX through OSD and the VTX button gets disabled if I'm wired for IRC (it comes pre-wired).
My antenna looks fine as it has an odd seal on the UHL connector I've never seen before (almost looks like clear heat shrink) none of the wire protrudes from the canopy only the pole(?) And it looks like the day it came out the box.

I'm really at my wits end with this.
Since I can't find any fault with the hardware.
Unless it's just the VTX taking a crap from heat?
I'm a beginner so I spend more time walking to find my quad than I do flying...lol

Mind you I know next to nothing about this stuff. So the PIDs may actually be as they were by the manufacturer.
All I remember is that the PID MODE must have been on eithr RP or RPY because I remember the sliders having color.
Now MODE is on OFF

I couldn’t find a proper manufacturer’s dump or diff all, however, here is a link to the AK123 manual:
http://15736572.s21d-15.faiusrd.com/61/A...ouPwAU.pdf

Page 8 and down shows every betaflight setting they set from the factory. Page 9 shows factory pids.

You’ll want to flash back to bf 4.0.3 prior to following their settings.

Regarding your vtx, it sounds like you either did not set up your vtx in the ports tab correctly, and/or you didn’t upload the correct vtx table, (and it sounds like you might be in pit mode or 25mw- without the right port settings and vtx table, changing the value on the vtx tab in betaflight won’t actually change anything).

Page 3 on that manual has the vtx table, and page 8 goes over your port settings.

Edit- page 3 also tells you how to read the leds on your vtx, so that you can verify what band/channel/power level you’re actually on.

Edit edit- the page numbers I’m referencing are the page numbers on the bottom of each page, not the pdf page number. I didn’t take into account the cover page.
Dangerous operations.

Disclaimer: I don’t know wtf I’m talking about.
I wish I could get the smell of burnt electronics out of my nose.

So it's a VTX Betaflight issue, not a tuning issue. You should change your topic title to something like "VTX Issues, need firmware/dump".

Your FC is a LDARC F411E12A AIO Flight Controller (F4 + 12A ESC)
Your VTX is a LDARC KKT-VTX200

From what I can gather you need to put 4.0.3 back on it and find a dump/diff for it.

So my suggestion is to put 4.0.3 back on it. It flew ok on 4.0.3, as you said, so put 4.0.3 back on it. Everyone nowadays has such a hard on for putting 4.4 on everything and most of the time it just breaks older quads. Don't fix what isn't broken. :/

So if it was me, I might be tempted to try 4.2.11 as well. I have a drone that uses an FrSky D8/D16 receiver that won't work on 4.3, but works fine on 4.2.11, so maybe try that too. But mainly just put 4.0.3 back on.

I think what you've done with your vtx somehow is enter the channel data manually and you've basically changed it so say R8 no longer corresponds to the frequency R8 should be on. So start by flashing a fresh copy of the original firmware back on. See if that fixes the VTX table.

Another possibility if you want to try it. Try putting Quicksilver on it. There is a Matekf411.brushless target. It might work out of the box without you needing to mess with it too much.

Thanks guys.
I'll try everything you listed.
@pathfinder...as I stated, it's the reason I put it in beginners topic. It's because I'm new and am basically taking guesses at what's wrong. The only thing that's changed is the firmware (and as others have mentioned that doesn't cause VTX issues)
The only thing that I can visually theorized has changed is the PIDs so that's what I posted it as.

And yes I reconfigured the channel numbers to match what's in the manual for the AK123. I was under the impression that that's what I was supposed to do since the standard IRC tramp tables have different power levels and channels not found on the quads PDF manual chart?

I put 4.0.3 back on it and switched to 4.4.0 back and forth.
Since I have a settings back up for the former as well as the later including diff all.
But neither seem to put the PIDs back to where they were originally.

And no I'm with you on that, I can't stand updating even drivers for devices...lol only do it as a last resort... But having no idea how to manually set up a VTX through the CLI and having no guidance, I decided to update the firmware to be able to just load the tables which I couldn't even do before... Or at least did not know how without having beta flight practically do it for me.

@lemonyleprosy
I have the manual but never got that far into it. Thank you for pointing that out. Hopefully that'll get everything back to normal.
I was starting to lose hope (hopefully this will prove me wrong) and had even begun pinching components from it... Like the buzzer which I put on another quad. That's flying beautifully...
But I still got love for the AK123 because it looks like a toy and is/was a crazy little ripper even just in LOS

It sounds like it’d be a fun bird to fly.

Hopefully following the betaflight settings in the manual gets you sorted out.

If it doesn’t, as Pathfinder said, quicksilver is an option. It’s ridiculously easy to set up, and flies great on defaults.
Pathfinder or I can walk you through the setup if you decide to give it a shot.

its a mistake to copy paste settings between major releases. as example you can sett copy paste from 4.0.1 to 4.0.8 with no problem but you will get faults and complete different result for pids and filters if you copypaste from 4.0.2 to 4.1.1.

a quad needs to be settup fresh, pids need to be adjusted for the particular version.
if you like to try 4.4 again, just try out the defaults, they match okish for a wide range of quads.

As a generic point, you cannot trust some VTX data tables using the Letter/Number (A7, B2) channel ident, as there was a long period (maybe still around, I no longer buy Analogue to know) when there was NO STANDARD coming from the various China sources!!! I have units where "A" band is "C" band, and reversed order!

This was particularly but not exclusively true of the various micro camera/vtx/antenna combos.

I came across this quite a few years ago as I was buying and using at one time 5-10 units per month, so a LOT of differing makes/models passed through my hands. Some of those makes/models are still around today.

This is a separate issue from the possible confusion of differing bands having some channels that so closely approach they might as well be the same.

The ONLY way to be sure is to use the four figure (5745, etc) number.

Partly answered in my post above.  I have units with only four bands, and some with eight bands, each with eight channels.  Early "Inductrix" models only had one band of eight channels from their VTX, a state we are going back to with HD as for example HDZero, like most HD, needing greater bandwidth than analogue per channel, has the eight channels of race band, plus two from "F" band, one at least being not far enough away from race band channels to be at all useful.

And that is ignoring varying worldwide legality, as for example in the UK only four of the race bands eight channels are within the legal range.

Yup, confused the heck out of me.
So I reloaded the international IRC Tramp tables and only adjusted the power levels. Now my channels match.
But now I'm having a different issue...
Grey screen FPV feed with OSD overlay present.
I think I saw that issue addressed in a different post here in B questions...

Well it seems I figured out the issue.
It appears my camera is no longer among the living.
I don't think the thin plastic canopy offers much protection against hard knocks... Because the camera itself doesn't have a single scratch on it.
But I switched it for a foxier razor nano from a different quad and the issue seems to have resolved itself.
Though i did return the PIDs to their factory settings... As many of them as I could anyway as some of them don't seem to be present in the betaflight 10 configurator

Glad you got it sorted out, how’s it flying?
